About this harness

The Link is Core's own harness, twenty years of engineering distilled into deliberate simplicity: a flexible shell with soft inner padding and an anti-slip profile that stays put without clamping. It takes either a classic hook or a rope spreader — the setup wave kiters and foilers ask for — making it one of the most versatile softshells in the game.
